- Some Palestinians embark on a journey to discover the fate of the houses taken from their families in the 1948 Nakba.
Meet some of the Palestinians who have returned to the homes of their parents and grandparents, now in present-day Israel.
Halima Khaddash is an old woman living in a refugee camp in Ramallah whose family is from Ramla. She travels to the place, which brings back memories of being forced from the family home during the 1948 Nakba, the catastrophe.
Zeina Abu Meita’s family was originally from the Mediterranean port city of Acre. She makes a bittersweet visit to Acre with her father who was forced from the family home when he was six. Zeina and her father have Canadian passports. So, as foreigners, they are allowed to visit Israel. But they don’t have any rights of residency or permanent return.
The film Return to Palestine explores the idea of The Right of Return on the 76th anniversary of the Nakba, which refers to the ethnic cleansing of Palestine and the near-total erasure of Palestinian society.

I am from Palestine living in Canada. I want to come back to Palestine one day. I cried and cried seeing this program. Thank you Al-Jazeera.
All the Palestinians living in the west burn there citizenship to purve there committed
Very very soon inshallah all of Palestinian land will be back in Palestinian hands. The promise of Allah will come to fruition soon. My heart goes out to you. May Allah be with all Palestinians and the Muslim ummah.
I want to see Kudna , where my father was raised. I want to see my mom's house that still stands in Nablus. We are all not allowed to return, but all of our hearts are still in Palestine. I've never been there but my dreams take me there & I feel like we never left because we hold it so near to our hearts. We will all return, one day.
"There has never been a land known as Palestine governed by Palestinians. Palestinians are Arabs indistinguishable from Jordanians (another recent invention), Syrians, Iraqis etc. Keep in mind that the Arabs control 99.9 per cent of the Middle East lands. Israel represents one tenth of one per cent. But that is too much for the Arabs. They want it all. And that is ultimately what the fighting in Israel is about today...no matter how many land concessions the Israelis make, it will never be enough". (Arab writer and historian Joseph Farah in his book Myths of the Middle East October 2000.)
Hamas Minister of the Interior and of National Security Fathi Hammad, aired by Al-Hekma TV on March 23, 2012. Stated.....
.....we all have Arab roots, and every Palestinian, in Gaza and throughout Palestine, can prove his Arab roots - whether from Saudi Arabia, from Yemen, or anywhere. We have blood ties. Personally, half my family is Egyptian. We are all like that. More than 30 families in the Gaza Strip are called Al-Masri ["Egyptian"]. Brothers, half of the Palestinians are Egyptians and the other half are Saudis. Who are the Palestinians? We have many families called Al-Masri, whose roots are Egyptian. Egyptian! They may be from Alexandria, from Cairo, from Dumietta, from the North, from Aswan, from Upper Egypt. We are Egyptians. We are Arabs.
"We [Palestinians] were never an independent state in history, we were part
of an Arab state and an Islamic state.” -- Palestinian Hamas Foreign Minister
Mahmoud Zahhar (quoted in The Economist, February 2, 2008)
I am sure you did I hope you get To go back one day
iam Peruvian, 40 years old and I really really wish to see a free palestines living in peace, I hope my eyes would see it.
Omg just 2 mins into this video and I am already crying…. And I’m Russian - American orthodox Christian… just for the reference..that you don’t have to be a Muslim or an Arab or whatever you are. Just a human! I wish Palestine would be FREE and all those people can return if they wish to… and those that tragically died during the 75 years of illegal occupation- I wish they rest in peace🇵🇸🕊️❤️ and THANK YOU ALJAZEERA for educating so many people about what is REALLY HAPPENING AND FOR YOUR HONEST JOURNALISM🙏🏻❤️
The occupation is not illegal.
Christians are supposed to be truthful.
Totally Agreed....Well Done Aljazeera TV 📺💯
It is the State of Israel now.
They will never return.
People must move forward in their life -- not backward.
You are Russian, do you also cry for the millions of murdered, deported and oppressed that your huge country conquered, burned, trampled, destroyed?
I cried like a little child. Emotional and true documentary. Long live the glorious Palestinian people. Justice will be done, I'm sure. Lots of strength and joy in your fight, which is also ours. Thanks.
"You'll Need lots of Tissues for this Masterwork".... Thanks Al Jazeera!! 💯🎯💯
The dear, old lady who is older than Israel, may Allah return to her what is actually her's before she leaves this oppressive world!
Aameen
Aameen
Then find a new name, Palestine is not a land, not a people. Palestine translates to "non jews in jewish land." it is a slur that Rome renamed the land to in disrespect. you cannot call the land Palestine. it is Judea.

May Allah Reward Tarek for helping Palestinians revisit their stolen land and homes
This documentary made me cry.
I’m so ashamed of what the rest of the world has allowed to happen to all of you.
I’m sorry from the buttom of my heart 💔
From Denmark and not religious.
From a Danish-Palestinian
Mange tak fra Aarhus.
@@BaladiAkka1948 altid ♥️🍉
I can't tell you how many times I've cried throughout this video. My family was from Acre too. I relate so much with their stories. My family also fled to Libanon and afterwards to Germany and ended up in Denmark. I'm born in Denmark and hope to visit Palestine too one day ❤ thank you so much for this video ❤️🕊🍉🇵🇸
😢🙏❤️💚🇵🇸
❤❤
Isn’t Acre where the Zionists poisoned the aqueduct?
Imagine being refugees in your own land 😢😢
These people in the film were born and live abroad. I don't think they are leading a life of misery in Canada or Australia
@user-wq9eg3nm4c it's not about individuals, it's the whole Palestinian population under occupation, and Gaza being under siege for the past 17 years. Those who left will never be able to return and settle back in their ancestral land
I don't care. There are many people refugees who had to leave a place to build new lives somewhere else.
@@user-wq9eg3nm4care you serious? Canada and Australia are no where near as safe free and prosperous as Muslim majority countries like Syria or Sudan or Yemen or Afghanistan
@@user-wq9eg3nm4c why Ashkanazi european Jews didn't stay in Poland, USA and Europe?
Their ancestors are there they were Not born in Palestine. They don't even carry the indeginois DNA , so what right do they have ?
It seems to be a lovely custom of the Palestinians to call all the old ladies “Aunty”. Very sweet.
May Allah return to Palestinians their land
They are gonna return to their land sooner then later with the help of ALLAH CC
We are all so same from Morocco to Bangladesh. That lovely lady looks and dresses like any loving caring grandmother in Lahore.
Bless you brothers and sisters.
This is heartbreaking she loves her land of brith and now she can only enjoy a short time of it Free Palestine ❤
And she is one of the lucky ones.
Few minutes in and am already crying. Very emotional documentary 😢
Long live Palestine
Palestine does not exist
Beautiful documentary if I ever seen one. May Allah be always on the side of my brothers and sisters of Palestine. Love from Afghanistan ❤️🇵🇸❤️🇵🇸❤️🇵🇸
I enjoy watching your documentaries AJ. I learn what I wish I had been taught years ago -- Truth!! Thank you.
WHEN is the ICC going to issue arrest warrants for netanyaho & his gang?????!!!!
after the imprisonment of evil sinwar and the hammas terror gang.
@@----jiz7048o mundo odeia esrael 🇮🇱 💩👹
@@----jiz7048 That was a legitimate resistance against an illegal oppressive occupying force. Whilst ever Palestine is under the boot of the IDF, there will be no sympathy for Zionist Israelis from the people in the rest of the world. Israel has NO friends now, the only people who support it are politicians who do so because they've been bought by the Israel lobby. We've all seen who the terrorists are.
So emotional 💔😭 Thanks so much both Al Jazeera, for your consistently excellent journalism and bravery , and Tarek blessing these beautiful people with reconnecting to their homelands and homes. Both heartbreaking and uplifting seeing the delight of the old lady growing her mint and Zeina's father holding back his tears. I didn't succeed in holding mine back. Sobbing like a baby . We need to really pile on the pressure harder than ever to get these people back to their homes in freedom, and peace 🙏❤️🖤🤍💚🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
Very emotional & heart-touching. Love you Al Jazeera. May Allah bless Al Jazeera & team.
May Allah SWT return all the Palestinian to their land.
Thanks Al Jazeera for this documentary.
So back to Jordan?
Now almost 70 years, expelled but allah is still deaf to hear you.

Tell the truth to the world...thanks..free Palestine
❤this was a beautiful documentary to watch. Thank.u Al Jazeera
Bless this woman
This was so beautiful ... to see the joy of the reuniting of people with their land and their families. I can see how closely knit they were as families & neighbours, where families lived together for generations. I left Australia & lived in Penang for 3 years when I was a child, aged 7 top 10yrs so I didn't get to know my grandparents who passed away when we were o'seas, then I lived in the UK for 5 years ... but each time I was away from 'home' I yearned to return ... & I'd not been forced off my homeland, and was able to return, so I can't even conceive of the excruciating pain that these beautiful warm, welcoming people experience. My return home both as a child was wonderful, but words couldn't describe my feelings of my return as an adult, to smell the gum trees & the koalas in the bushland, the smell of the ocean & the beauty of the sand & the beaches ... & the ocean. Nothing can ever make up for 'home' ... no matter if it was a palace, I couldn't leave my country again. I Loved seeing this lady collect her soil & grow her mint in it ... I totally relate to that because I used to wish that I'd taken soil, sand & sea water o'seas with me, even though I cried salty tears every night for 5 years. This man is doing a beautiful thing to repatriate these people with their families & their land. It's just a criminal act to allow their homes to be derelict when the owners so want to live there.
My grandmother had a mint garden beside the steps behind our house in Montreal. I love mint gardens.
Masha Allah it’s a beautiful land and you will get it back Insha Allah
ما أحلى بحرك يا بلادي 😢
"The Zionists as a movement, and then the State of Israel, which emerged from that movement, declared war on the Palestinian people. In that war we saw ethnic cleansing, genocidal policies and a racist apartheid regime" ~ Miko Peled.
DNA testing is a wonderful discovery because it would quickly prove who is from there, but is illegal to do in Israel.

Crying, heart broken😢😢😢😢
Finally it got translated from Arabic to English ! 💐🦋🍃 Wonderful Documentary 🌸🌷🌸 Tarek Bakri is an Exceptional Man ❤

One day insha Allaah Eastern Europian,American,Ethiopian will go back where tehy came from.....PALESTINE will be for only PALESTINIAN........From The River To the Sea Palestine will be free♥♥♥♥
A great documentary by Al Jazeera: "No matter who you are or where you are, instinct tells you to go home"
Free Palestine🇵🇸
Poor lady Break my heart
Imagine how beautiful it would be written for example: yaffa, palestine jericho, palestine nablus, palestine jerusalem, palestine
Sad to see this injustice elder 🇯🇴🗝️🤲🏻 these tears hurt all 🌍 for their land of Palestine
Oh, me encantó este documental, está cargado de humanidad, de sentimientos. Cada detalle me hace ser parte de lo que estas familias vivieron. Todos sus documentales me gustan, muchas gracias por compartirlos.

"AN ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE PEOPLE!!"...."TEAR JERKING SADNESS FOR THE PEOPLE OF PALESTINE" 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸💯
Long live Palestine ❤
It was always palestein
it is still palestein
it always gonna be palestein 🇵🇸
It was not "always palestine."
The Ottoman Turkish Empire called it Syria.
The Roman Empire called it Syria-Palestina.
Before that it was Jewdea.
Before that it was the Kingdom of Jewdah.
Nope
Except for Israel being declared a state. There is no state of Palestine
@@Matthew_LoutnerJews belong to Europe not Palestine Jews have a dream to rule the world so they r doing with the help of Zionist 🥵
@@Matthew_LoutnerPalestine for Palestini people not a Jews 😢
Amazing how the ancestors of people who experienced some of the worst atrocities are OK with their own atrocities against Palestinians. As you speak of the generation trauma of Jews, which was caused by Europeans, don’t forget the generation trauma of Palestinians caused and embraced by Israelis.
Love from Bangladesh❤❤❤
Weren't the Palestinians also granted "right of return" by UN Resolution 242 in 1967?
Was it a binding resolution or a non-binding resolution?
Most UN resolutions are just non-binding suggestions.
@@Matthew_Loutner Right. From what I gather it was so vaguely worded that one could interpret it in a variety of ways, which would certainly make it non-binding.
Even if it were binding, Israel doesn't think that resolutions apply to them (unless it is the one that created Israel as a state 😠).
@@linn7019 That is true. But other nations would be interested if it is a binding resolution or not.
Im Palestinian Christian. My home is still under Palestinian rule. The Jews didn't take Bethlehem. We still got it.
Crying...crying....crying.....crying. 😭😭😭😭😭
يا الله ما أصعب الشعور 😢😢 الله يجزيك الخير يا طارق. إن شاء الله فلسطين تتحرر قريباً.
شكراً على الفيلم الوثائقي الرائع 🥹❤️
So much life, So much loss. It can only be a discovery of truth that will bring peace. For both sides to occupy without fear, war, oppression and inhumanity. I can only observe from afar, however my heart is there with the people who are suffering.
What a wonderful job you are doing! Documenting precious memories! I could totally refer to the lady who smells the land and was taking earth to grow mint for her guest's tea, the essence of good hospitality! May Palestine be free, soon, from the river to the sea! May you all go back home, insha Allah. Oh, yes, they lived so well...😢
😢😢😢😢😢😢
Tears along with them while watching.. so sad. Good job on the researcher!!
Masha Allah, their resilience inspires me. May Allah grant them peace and solace.
thank you, al jazeera, for such a moving documentary. the elderly lady who's planted mint is poetic in every word she says.
PALESTINIANS HAVE RIGHT TO LIVE IN THEIR OWN HOMELAND PALESTINE 🇵🇸 WITH SAFETY AND DIGNITY. PALESTINIANS HAVE RIGHT TO DEFEND THEMSELVES AGAINST OCCUPATION, OPPRESSION, ETHNIC CLEANSING, AND APARTHEID.
If they were not born there, it is not their homeland.
Your CAPS LOCK IS ON
The VAST MAJORITY of Palestinians have never even seen or stepped foot on this land. I have Indian ancestral heritage, but I have no ties to land only family

Mis ojos se me aguaron viendo este documental.
Just the title made me start crying.
Cried thanks Aljazeera Always
InshaAllah Palestinian will return home and never forced to leave again
Al Jazeera! Please, make a documentary about the Peshawar School Massacre in Pakistan in December 2014.
Amazing people..Palestinians are "God chosen people" with their resilient when the world turn them down all these years..Freedom Will come for this people..Free Palestine
Long live Palestine!
My eys r filled with tears
We wish inshallah falasteen will be free inshallah summa inshallah
This is a very good document from a technical perspective!
Also, my family has a similar situation because they lived before IIWW in what is now Ukraine (then it was eastern Poland). After the massacres of the Polish population, they had to escape because they were thrown out of there. Today, in the place of this village there is only a meadow. There is not even any sign that people lived here and suffered so much. Before she died, my great-grandmother wanted soil in a bag from this place :(
I feel so sorry for these people... Everything was taken away from them.....
Pray for Palestinianians 🇵🇸
May God bless and protect all of you good souls ❤️❤️❤️🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🍉🍉🍉
Amazing
Excellent. Amazing how much love these people keep for their land. They will persist! Palestine will be free!
This was a very emotional , I loved it. God bless Tarek for his exceptional efforts. Palestine is so beautiful,Acre is beautiful beyond words. Thank you for this lovely documentary
When is this documentary. ?
What is the name of the song they are singing ?
It is sung and played really cool 😄
Reminds me of old school music like
Buena Vista Social Club from Cuba 🌻
Very sad
So, they took their homes, land, farms, and called them terrorist 😢
The day of return is near. 70 years in, the determination and desire of return is still alive. it won't die until Palestinians find their way back to their hometowns where they truly belong. Palestine will be free Insha-Allah
WOW😢😢😢🤲❤
Nice documentary, I love the acting 👏
Beautiful and heartbreaks, Palestine will be free from the river to the sea.
As I watched this I was thinking about the Palestinian family I met on the march in DC. In January. The mother was worried about her sister’s family in Gaza and having to move because of the bombs. I wondered if they were ok. Such a lovely family.
😢😢😢
It's super sad they want their land that was taken & being suffering for decades 😔
